Davis Slip and Fall Accident Lawyer

While everyone trips sometimes, those who fall and suffer injuries due to the negligence of other parties deserve compensation for what they have experienced.

However, you may encounter barriers such as the insurance company for the at-fault party being unwilling to provide fair compensation or even blaming you for what happened. Setbacks like these can make the process even more frustrating.

At Triumph Law, our Davis slip and fall accident lawyers can answer your questions and offer insight into your losses and the opportunities to recover damages fairly.

Types of Slip and Fall Accidents We Handle

As your legal team, we would be happy to answer any questions you have about slip and fall accidents, including determining if anyone should be paying for your losses.

As a type of premises law, slip and fall accidents can happen for many reasons related to negligence. Some examples of the types of cases we handle include:

• Wet or slippery walkways
• Tripping over a rug or clutter
• Lack of lighting
• A loose or missing handrail
• Uneven surfaces in parking lots
• Missing or broken steps

In situations where you can prove the property owner or management was negligent, you may be able to recover damages for your losses. To be at fault, you must show that: 

• You had the right to be at the property.
• The owner knew or should have known about the risk present.
• They then did not take action to improve it or warn you. 

Our lawyer will show that the accident was the direct result of their failure to ensure safety and that you suffered clear losses as a result. 

Factors That Make Slip and Fall Accidents Challenging

Suffering an accident like this can be devastating, causing you serious injuries and losses. Unfortunately, your frustration often doesn’t end there. It can also be overwhelming when you try to file a claim for the losses you know the other party owes to you. Some of the most common factors that can lead to a lack of recovery of fair damages include:

• Property owners who claim you did not have the right to be at the property
• Incidents in which the owner claims they did not know of the risks present and therefore did not have time to fix them
• Claim denials because the insurance company does not believe you suffered injuries
• Statements that you had preexisting conditions that put you at risk of falling
• Claims you did not fall at the property at all

In every situation, the burden of proof is on your shoulders, which means you must have the evidence to show that the property owner or manager was responsible.

This can be a real challenge, but with decades of experience, our slip and fall accident attorney in Davis will help you exercise your rights. Do not settle your claim until you speak with the Davis personal injury lawyers at Triumph Law.

What to Do After a Slip and Fall Accident

When a slip and fall accident happens, the first step is always to take care of yourself and others, meaning you should not move if you are facing serious injuries. Instead, place a call to 911 for a serious injury and then consider taking the following steps:

• Take photos of the surrounding area: Document any of the factors that contributed to the incident.
• Inform the property owner: You do not need to file a claim with their insurance company, but alerting them of the incident is wise.
• Get contact information: Gather the details of anyone who was present at the time of the incident, even if they were not witnesses to your actual fall.
• Seek medical care as soon as possible: This will help document that your injuries and losses are directly related to the accident you had.
• Follow all medical guidance: This includes adhering to care instructions and seeking out additional treatment as recommended.
• Contact our legal team: We can offer crucial assistance in the immediate aftermath of your accident.

Taking these steps in a slip and fall accident can be essential to proving your losses. The more evidence we have, the harder it is for insurance companies to deny your claim for fair compensation. However, if they do so, your deadline to sue someone is two years from the date of the accident, and we will be there to help you file in time.
